Default Brake hoses for 5 lug conv.

Okay I spent the weekend puting in the new Strange 9" w/ rear disc new adj. uppers and new lowers. The front was some what a different story. A buddy of mine got me spindles, lower ball joints, calipers and rotors off a 2001 Mustang. I printed Ford Racing's M2300-K instructions and parts list so I could piece the front together. I am having trouble with the caliper hoses hooking up to the existing hardlines. Does anyone have any pics so I can see how they are routed and to make sure that I got the right hoses. I had a friend at the brake shop cross reference everything. But it looks as if caliper side of the hose is 180* different.
I have used the search but I can't seem to find the pics I am looking for. Thanks for any replies

I have heard may times that you need an adapter to hook the fox hardlines up to the new calipers, but i have not seen where to get said adapter. If anyone knows it would help as i am also gather parts for my conversion.

I have all of the adapters but I just need a visual to see how the hoses are routed. The other issue is, I did not use the cobra brakes. My 9" came with SVO brakes and the fronts were off a 2001. If you do the conversion I recomend using late model lower ball joints and spindles so you don't have to use washers or the spacer that comes in the M2300-k kit.
